- The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)arrow_forwardA security code of four digits from digits 0 to 9 must be entered in a definite order. How many four-digit codes are possible if repetition of digits is allowed?(HINT: digits must be entered in a definite order)arrow_forwardhe security department has decided that passwords must now be 8 characters. They are considering two scenarios. Calculate how many unique passwords can be generated with each scenario. Scenario 1: The allowable characters include 26 upper case letters, 26 lower case letters, 10 digits, and four special characters (!,@,#,&). Repetition is permitted. How many unique passwords can be generated? Scenario 2. No repetition is permitted. For the first five characters in the password, the allowable characters include 26 upper case letters, 10 digits, and the four special characters. However, the last three characters must be lower case letters. How many unique passwords can be generated?arrow_forward
- a collage has new password conditions. There must be 6 characters, which can be either numbers or lower-case letters. None of the characters can repeat. How many possible passwords are there?arrow_forwardAssume a country has 3-digit area codes that all have 0 or 1 as the middle digit, do not have 0 or 1 as the first digit, and do not have 2 as the third digit. How many area codes are possible?arrow_forwardSolve these problems using "Pigeonhole Principle".1) How many numbers must be selected from the set {20,30,40,50,60,70,80} to guarantee thatat least one pair of these numbers add up to 110? 2) Three parties are running for Bangladesh’s upcoming gubernatorial election. There are5,00,500 people who vote. What is the minimum number of votes needed for any party to winthe election?arrow_forward
- Suppose each license plate in a certain state has three digits followed by three letters. The digts 4 and 5 are not used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that are used. Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many license plates can be generated using this format?arrow_forwardIn a certain country, the car number plate is formed by 4 digits from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 followed by 3 letters from the alphabet. How many number plates can be formed if neither the digits nor the letters are repeated?arrow_forwardPredict the next number: 1. 2,7,14,23,34, _? 2. 5,6,10,19,35,_? 3. 6,9,15,24,36,_? 4. 1,5,12,22,35,_? 5. 6,12,18,24,30,_?arrow_forward
- Use pigeonhole principle 1. How many numbers must be selected from the set {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15} to guarantee that at least one pair of these numbers add up to 16? 2. In a group of 2,121 people, there are at least ___ people with the same birthday.arrow_forwardSuppose you are going to make a password that consists of 5 characters chosen from {2,3,6,7,a,c,k,n,p}. How many different passwords can you make if you cannot use any character more than once in each password?arrow_forwardSuppose each license plate in a certain state has three digits followed by three letters. The digits 4 and 5 are not used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that are used. Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many license plates can be generated using this format?arrow_forward
